slightly of topic..last night was offered a new magic box that would restore all my channells.i was told these boxes were destined for sly users in the future,but that these cronies had got there hands on a couple of containers of these boxes.the cost of the box to set up is 300 euros{extra 80 for dish if needed}after you had it for a year they would have to download new software at a cost of 100 euros.when i asked to see this magic box i was told i could have it up and running in three days,after repeated requests to see the box i was handed a phone,on the other end of the line the guy reconfirmed the cronies story about sly etc.after repeated requests as to what name was on the front of this box and what it looked like i was told,its the new little sleek sly black box with there new name on it called DM500V8 multimedia.i have since learned that there are acutally people buying these D/M500S for that money.i dont know what there server is like but one can only imagine.
I havent failed, Ive found 10,000 ways that dont work.

sorry, i must be long in the tooth, but a dm500 costs close to eur63. so how does a cost of eur300 sound better?

understand reswob. sadly there is the fecker who just wants to buy a no-hassle box without understanding the dangers such a box can in fact cause. but hey, we are here to offer advice, not to form opinions of the intelligence of the user. if they want to pay stupid prices to a pay server that will be broken by the police then it is their very own choice that they are welcome to make. The bright side is that while many of us play at this for a bit of a game we have all these dudes who will arrive in court well before we ever have to worry about such an issue. So I guess its a good thing but it is a bit disappointing that they do lack some degree of willingness to at least make an effort.

i'm using dm500-v8-maxvar image and am having problems with bouquets i've d/l latest sgtflipflop but a lot of channels dont come through(after rescan), iwas told to clear listings before rescan, but i'm not given that option. i've tried to change image but i get an error and it is aborted. i did a factory reset, but still maxvar image was there. also, when i reboot and cccam 2.1.3 is starting i get a (sticky) at the end(serverbox) i do'nt get this on my client box, but have the same problems with listings.so,other than factory reset, can i wipe the box clean and start again? is there a better bouquet to use?should i hid the boxes behind the sofa,go to to bed and forget i ever had them?

Fac reset won't remove image. Best way to change image is dream-up & null modem ONLY from
rs232 port on PC. If you get ABORTED BY USER error you are using wrong version of dream-up
Try dream-up 1.3.2.1 for DM500 & use Pli-jade or Darkstar 11 image. Say NO to flash erase

what you got going you need to use null modem for dream up flash wizzard uses your router to flash the box via the ethernet cable

You would be best to ignore use network option on dream-up. There are lots of quicker ways to
flash image to box, but none are as dependable as null-modem & dream-up

naz, now i have to whinge a bit. i type in 'generate satellite.xml' into google and the web address you need is top of the list. http://satellites-xml.eu/
jondalar the only reason dreamup will fail after you have a connection is because you are not flashing a .img file. i suspect you didn't extract the file from either a winzip or winrar archive

no, image had been unzipped. i had the use network button on, i suspect dreamup was trying to flash through LAN
